Dawki and Mawlynnong by taxi
Dawki sits on the India–Bangladesh border in the Jaintia Hills, famous for the startlingly clear waters of the Umngot river — on a calm winter day the boats seem to float on air. The road from Guwahati runs via Shillong and Pynursla, and most travellers pair it with Mawlynnong, often called Asia’s cleanest village, and the nearby Riwai living root bridge.
What to see
- Boat ride on the Umngot river at Dawki / Shnongpdeng
- Mawlynnong village and the Sky View bamboo tower
- Riwai single-decker living root bridge (short walk)
- Balancing rock and views of the Bangladesh plains
When is the water clearest?
The Umngot is clearest from about November to April. During the monsoon (June–September) the river is muddy and boating may be suspended.
